Answer 2

Gravitational potential :

• According to classical mechanics, the gravitational potential at a location is equal to the work per unit mass that would be needed to move an object to that location from a fixed reference location with mass playing the role of charge.
• Gravitational potential is analogous to the electric potential with mass playing the role of charge.

• The reference location, where is the potential is zero, is by convention infinitely far away from any mass, resulting in a negative potential at any finite distance.

• Potential energy is due to the virtue of position of the object.

• Gravitational potential energy is due to the potential energy of a body arising out of the force of gravity.

• Consider a particle, which is at a point P above the surface of earth and when it falls on the surface of earth.

• The change in potential energy from position P to Q is same as the work done by the gravity.

• It depends on the height above the ground and mass of the body.
